Shrubbo Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Myself and the better half's TM Warthog sticks had a bit a movement in the actual handles. Turns out I found a real quick 1 dollar fix. A hose clamp and now they are both rock solid and it is only a PITA if I am taking the handle off regularly... which we are not. 3 i9-9900K,Z390 Aorus Master, 32GB GSkill Trident F4-3600 DDR4, ROG Strix RTX 2080 Ti, Oculus Rift S.

CypherBlue Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I saw this post and it was a lifesaver. I had the same play in my warthog joystick, I then saw this post. I went to Harbor freight picked up some hose clamps for six dollars. Put one on the play is gone! I wanted to thank you, even though I’m seeing this two years later for posting this, it made a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoxen Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Hi, I also had play some time ago and believe it is a loose screw inside of the stick. This is how I fixed it. Open the stick, tighten the screw and the play was gone. Might be a different problem but just wanted to add my experience.

It will work lose again though so I went ahead and epoxy bedded the tailpipe (a replacement steel one) into the grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Hoss Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Get one of these joystick collars, can't remember where I found it... Temu, eBay, or Reddit... two pieces held together with four magnets, you could print your own if you measure it. It will also stop the over-aggressive from snapping their stick. Put Loctite on the Allen screws and tighten them, they will stay that way. Edit: Found it on eBay... here's the LINK Edited March 1 by _Hoss Sempre Fortis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
